11/19/2023 0 Comments Invisible cities winged victory![]() ![]() Transformed into 45 minutes of breathtaking beauty, ‘Invisible Cities’ opens with the numinous ‘So That the City Can Begin to Exist’, as Wiltzie and O'Halloran draw breath from distinctively enthralling and vastly expansive worlds. ![]() Originally conceived as a touring project, its last performance was in Brisbane, Australia before COVID-19 changed the world as we know it. Described by The Sunday Times as “a beautiful frenzy of movement”, it fuses theatre, music, dance, architectural design, and visuals and brings to life a series of fantastical places and disparate worlds, centered on the tense relationship between Kublai Khan, the volatile head of a vast empire, and explorer Marco Polo. Premiering to a sell-out audience in July 2019 at the Manchester International Festival, the duo was commissioned by Warner’s 59 Productions to score the music for the 90-minute multimedia theatrical stage show, adapted from Italo Calvino’s 1972 novel, ‘Invisible Cities’. Released on their own Artificial Pinearch Manufacturing label, the album comes as part of an agreement with A Winged Victory for the Sullen’s current label, Ninja Tune. ORDER: VINYL | CD | TAPE CASSETTE : bit.ly/3hQLdVVĪ Winged Victory for the Sullen, the collaboration between Adam Wiltzie & Dustin O'Halloran, release their 2021 album ‘Invisible Cities’, the stunning score to the critically acclaimed theatre production directed by London Olympics ceremony video designer Leo Warner. A first rate illustration of growing musical ambition and inventiveness.NEW: AWVFTS X DAVY EVANS: LIMITED-EDITION PRINTS: /shop/ The sparingly-used vocals enhance the instrumentation that, itself, moves between the minimal and the more full-blooded. It’s a record of successful explorations of musical avenues. The languid piano introducing “The Divided City” leads to an arresting, wholly-convincing swerve in the strings that, in turn, dies away before the rhythm picks up in the following track emphasising strings more fully, and then a delightful Bach-style cello theme brings in “There Is One of Which You Never Speak” collapsing into a fierce electrical sizzle. The consistent delicacy of Dustin O’Halloran’s piano often contrasts with some threatening industrial-type effects or thunderous orchestral surges. ![]() That ambiguous area between the factual and the fictional is suggested from the outset on this album, as the swelling instrumental of the (significantly titled) “So That the City Can Begin to Exist” gives way to an angelic eight-voice choir sound of “The Celestial City” against a slightly discordant pulsing rhythm an uneasy balance of the kind that is so well handled across the record. This is echoed here, with the introduction of sound effects that are always interesting and never gratuitous, as they take themes and ideas in original directions. Calvino’s literary style is unorthodox, rarely offering a traditionally linear narrative instead, favouring structures and register shifts that call into question his readers’ usual assumptions. Such deliberately unsettling intrusions testify to AWVFTS’s willingness to go further beyond the more immersive that was a dominant characteristic of their earliest recordings. So, appropriately enough, “Thirteenth Century Travelogue” suggests a contrast between the real and the imagined (or between the genuine and the fraudulent), as the ambient texture is cross-cut by a slightly sinister metallic sound that uneasily breaks up the underlying majestic harmonies. The recognisable wide-angle instrumental soundscape now incorporates some intelligently-arranged vocal elements at key points, serving well to convey contrast and dramatic effects arising out of Marco Polo’s verbal images which have long exercised scholars’ views on the disputed matter of their truthfulness. ![]()

11/18/2023 0 Comments Nuclear fusion vs fission reactor![]() ![]() Uranium is the most common fissile used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.If uncontrolled, it can lead to an enormous explosion. If controlled in a nuclear reactor, such a chain reaction can be used to generate power.These neutrons can induce fission in a nearby nucleus of fissionable material and release more neutrons causing a chain reaction.įissionable material → That can undergo nuclear fission chain reaction.įissile → That can undergo Controlled or Self-Sustained nuclear fission chain Reaction.In the fission process, radioactive products are formed, and several neutrons are emitted.The nuclear fission process may take place spontaneously in some cases or may be induced by the excitation of the nucleus with a variety of particles (neutrons, protons, deuterons, or alpha particles) or with electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays.Įndothermic = Absorption of Heat during a reaction. Įxothermic = Liberation of Heat during a reaction. The fission process often produces free neutrons and gamma photons, and releases a very large amount of energy.In nuclear physics, nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts.It was explained theoretically in 1939 by Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch. ![]() Nuclear fission of heavy elements was discovered in 1938 by German Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann.The discovery of nuclear fission began with the discovery of the neutron in 1932 by James Chadwick in England.Mains: Science and technology – developments and their applications and effects in everyday life. Types of Nuclear Reactors: Light-water reactor (LWR) and Pressurized Heavy-Water Reactor (PHWR) and more.

Drone QR codes are cool, and they get the job done.ĭrone shows anyway are the perfect intersection of art, science, technology, and, of course, marketing. It was only a few months ago that 1,500 drones formed a giant scannable QR code in the Shanghai sky and prompted users to install a video game on their smartphones. Well, we can’t say we didn’t see it coming. 32 minute flight time with a 2.5 mile transmission range. Now that QR codes have finally hit the mainstream, we’re proud to have infused drone and QR code technology to provide a fully immersive experience for Travis Scott fans. Made in the USA, the Parrot ANAFI USA has a three camera system (wide visual, zoom visual, 320 thermal) and has been designed for public safety and industrial inspection. This is the future of OOH/outdoor advertising, and the music industry will certainly embrace this. Manufacturer: Parrot Grade: A Model Name: MiniDrone With Camera: No. We got in touch with company founder and CEO, Sam Keywanfar, and he told us that MilkMoney has been working on several other campaigns as well that utilize drones and QR technology: Parrot MiniDrones Airborne Cargo Drone Travis Quadcopter, B. The feat was made possible through MilkMoney, a Los Angeles-based adtech platform that Travis has been known to rely on for various album releases. ![]() Dropping new music and giving fans direct access to the song through a drone installation is unheard of and Travis made it happen! Rolling Loud fans cheered and took out their phones to capture the moment and scan the QR code, marking the beginning of a new era of live performances. As Tariq Cherif, the co-founder and co-CEO of the music fest, says:Įveryone knows Travis is one of the best performers in the game, but on Saturday night he took it to another level. ![]() But this is the first instance when an artist has used a drone QR code display to drop new music.Īnd the good folks at Rolling Loud, who were welcoming fans after a two-year COVID-induced break, couldn’t be happier. The music industry has been using drones to create stunning cinematic videos and to amplify the live concert experience for quite some time now. The rapper got 250 drones to form a scannable QR code during his concert set, which directed fans to a Spotify pre-save link for his new single “Escape Plan.” And judging by what went down at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami last weekend, we’ll have to agree. This ultra-sophisticated technology makes the Parrot Airborne Cargo one of the most stable quadcopters on the market.Travis Scott is often hailed as the music industry’s unofficial king of elaborate promotional stunts. How? Thanks to its gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. The Parrot Airborne Cargo is as light as a feather and has exceptional flight stability.

And by the waaaay! I seem to recall you recently had that one-eyed anarchist on this telegram! What secrets did she tell you? WHERE IS THE RESISTANCE BASE?! WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW HER ON HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?! SHE'S AN ANARCHIST!!! Uh, my first question is, how exactly do you plan to take over Hell? 'Cuz you, uh, didn't last that long against Alastor. ![]() Sir Pentious: Ah, perfect!

Today we have a very special guest and our- (checks notes) -'soon-to-be afterlife overlord', but you may know him better as Sir Pentious! Alastor seems indifferent-to-friendly with Huni due to her amusing personality, often "flirting" with her in a way where it is difficult to tell if he is actually flirting with her or threatening to kill her. Huni has an obvious crush on Alastor, despite his grisly nature, fangirling over him and blushing in his presence. Social Influencing: HuniBun is capable of using her influence over social media, as well as her podcast, to spread good or bad information on a person or place, potentially swaying the public on them in the process.She wears no clothing besides a grey and black jacket with a very large zipper. She is occasionally depicted with eye bags. She has two large bunny ears, white eyebrows, and a tuft of white hair on her head. HuniBun is a human-sized, anthropomorphic bunny with white and light purple fur. ![]() Though, this does not stop her from holding interviews with several of the hotel crew's enemies to get their perspective on things, such as the Vees. She often expresses disapproval of the hotel's detractors, especially Katie Killjoy, who she deeply despises. She is very resourceful and helpful towards her allies, providing the hotel crew with information that would be of use to them, in addition to being a loyal friend, as she refused to give Vox pivotal information on the Hazbin Hotel, despite both him attempting to coerce her, and her clearly being very terrified of him. She is patient and a quick thinker, due to how chaotic some of her interviews can get and the effort it takes to keep up with the ones she interviews. During interviews, she often takes a casual and laid-back approach, not being fazed by and laughing off Sir Pentious' mad rambling, though she is susceptible to some embarrassing moments, such as fangirling over Verosika Mayday or convulsing and getting tongue-tied when Angel Dust started flirting with her. Despite being a podcast host, she is somewhat shy and has problems with anxiety, but still takes on whatever Hell throws at her through sheer determination. Friendly, open-minded, and a vocal supporter of the Hazbin Hotel, HuniBun is everything Katie Killjoy is not, supporting the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie Magne simply because of the positive influence they both could have on Hell's society. ![]() 11/18/2023 0 Comments Lecture recorder![]() ![]() I was always amazed, when I listened back to the lectures, how much stuff I didn’t write down!ĭuring my freshmen year, my friends took the piss a bit, but a few of them borrowed the recordings after they’d missed a class (instead of my lecture notes) and soon everybody realized how useful it was to have an audio recording of the lecture.

When I was in college, I recorded a lot of the lectures and found the recordings to be incredibly, incredibly useful.
